All confirmations are now in. Day 1 will officially begin 3 P.M. CDT (4 hours from now). At that time normal rules as laid out in the OP will apply and voting and claiming will be allowed. ---

Finally finished reading the last game. Perfect example of why it’s so frustrating when Scum don’t talk much and don’t vote. Bill, FCOD and gryff all played well, and I liked the setup. ---

If the day didn’t start, could **Chronos** really get killed? And are we going to sub someone in for him? ---

Oh, he got killed for the editing. And if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll only come back into this thread as a ghost…if at all. But his death has no affect on the game, as far as you know, since he wasn’t playing. ---

As far as I can tell, his ghost would get smitten (exorcised?) if he dared write in this thread again. ---

If it’s wrong, then we stand to waste a whole lot of time and effort worrying about it that would be better spent elsewhere. And there’s absolutely nothing in the opening post to suggest it’s true, either; in fact, this > > > [@](#): > > > > Originally Posted by Hoopy Frood > > > > 1.

I don’t think it’s anything to spend a lot of time worrying about; but I think my reading of the post (that the truth-claim was limited to “this is the exact wording of the PMs sent to players” with no guarantee of the truthfulness of those PMs) is defensible, though I agree that yours is as well.
